On the grill

No fat to fall back on, so it dries out fast past temperature. Sear it hard on all sides over direct heat, then finish indirect and pull promptly at 63 °C.

Livsmedelsverket recommends 70 °C for pork generally; USDA allows 63 °C with a short rest. A whole muscle like this is a reasonable place to trust the lower figure.
